Why is AdBlock suddenly not working? How has Ask become my default search engine no matter what I do?

Suddenly this afternoon I get horrible video ads on my Firefox screen. I reloaded AdBlock and they're still there. Also and equally out of the blue, Ask has become my default search engine and remains so, no matter how many times I have selected Google and deleted Ask. I have been a loyal Firefox user for many years but I do not want ads and I do not want Ask!
